Tunguska: ROSWELL-CLASS COVERT SURVEY SHIP (TL11^)

This is a fast, long-ranged, and stealthy special-operations
vessel designed to insert and retrieve first-contact or covertsurvey
teams on high-tech worlds without being detected by
radar or passive sensors. It has an unstreamlined 300-ton (SM
+7) hull 60 feet in diameter. Reactionless drives allow silent
landing and takeoff. It is armed for self-defense and for protecting
landing parties, but normally it relies on its cloaking
device to avoid detection and stay out of trouble.

The astute reader will note that this is the classic “flying saucer,” with stealth mode capabilities. Ships of this variety are typically named after the locations of mysterious or Fortean events, such as Roswell, Bermuda and Okanagan.
